MAIDEN LOCALS.

Times are picking up.
Ii is rumorod that we are to have new
L. VI. in few days.
Considerable nininspropcrty has changed
hands during the last four weeks, among
which is the Kentucky Favorite, one OF the
best mines in this district.
II. ". IIisley, ono Of the pioneers Of this
camp, but now OF Nashon, Washington
Territory. arrived in town last week to
look after his mining and other property
here.
The spotted Horse IL proving TO he II
veritable bonanza. Every part Of the mine
Is showing up rich ore bodies, constantly
increasing in w., with walls well defined
and having every indication of "A perma-
nent lead. The mill recently erected on
that property has been running successfully
for some time, and, judging by the amount
Of amalgam taken of the plates every day,
the fortunate owner, Mr. Meadow, il being
handsomely repaid for money expended In
developing that property.

Mira. p. W Meadow. of Maiden. was in
town last Saturday and called at the AR
Gus office. She WAS very enthusiastic over
the Spotted Horse mine, of which she is
owner. This property was always consid-
cred the most valuable in the Judith range
and as development progresses its marvel
lous deposits OF gold are being revealed A
new uiill Of the Huntington process, with
Duncan concentrations, has nov been in
operation but a lew days, but the results
are highly satisfactory.
The cleanup from the plates show an av-
erage Of $50 pr ton, outside Of the amount
yet to he taken from the concentrates and
talings.
A large amount OF telurium ore has
been struck. which, with other rich rock is
being sacked ior shipment to Omaha for
re luction.
The mine il being thoroughly developed
under the infringement Of p. Biglen, AN
experienced miner, who places the value of
the mine in the hundreds OF thousands.
Mrs. Meadow is becoming thoroughly
familiar with mining matters. and there is
nothing in connection with tunnels, shafts
drifts. stopping, wines. etc, in which she is
not well posted, indeed. She can well be
called the Mining Queen Of Montana.

Lunatics in Russia.


DR.. Kovaleffski, one of the most re-
nowned of Russian physicians, professor.
at the Kharkoff University, has made
known some serious facts relative to
lunacy in Russia According to the
learned professor the number of lunatics
in Russia amount to at least 100000.
Only one-tenth can be accommodated
in asylums, or elsewhere obtain atten-
ton. DR.. Kovaleffski says that the treat
ment of the inmates is for the greater
part defective. Rich patients alone can
obtain careful attention; the INDECENT
are too often i'll treated. The number
of really skillful doctors in the asylums
is restricted, and rational treatment is.
almost out of the question. The keep
ers are for the most part rude men, who
maltreat the unfortunates if not bribed
to kindness by relatives. The nourish-
ment is insufficient and of bad quality.
Thousands of lunatics who can not be
accommodated in public or private asy-
lums walk about at large without re-
ceiving the slightest care. One meets
them everywhere on the roads in the
country, often i'll used by the heartless,
and then taking theirrevenge by setting
houses on fire or mutiating children

Chinese Barbarity.

The Pekin courts lately sentenced a
young man to the lingering death of a
thousand slices who had murdered his
brother by blood, but his cousin by
adoption, for unnatural cruelty. The
brother had usurped his place in the
house of his adopted mother, and finally,
when the victim was driven out, he sold
his wife and child and gave to his
adopted mother $26 out of the $29 which
he realized from this sale. To Chinese
eyes this was a praiseworthy transac-
ton. The wicked brother seized upon
this money given to the old mother, and
when the other returned after few
days and learned of this browning in
jury he promptly killed his brother and
his brothers wife and child. The court,
in passing sentence, was chiefly per-
picked as to whether he murdered his
brother or his cousin. The Judge
showed no leniency toward him, and
the moral to be drawn from the case is
that the way of the poor in China is
hard. If he had had money he could
have secured relief; without it, he was
driven to take justice into his own hands,
which resulted in his shameful DEATH
